I have the requirements of getting a simple form to output to a db
file. Currently I am using a form called ennyform and it outputs to a
flat file. The person who want this wants it to be searchable and we
expect to get anywhere from 50 - 300 forms submitted per day. I was
reading that using php to MySQL was the correct way to get output into
a MySQL database. I know this is not the only way but I am on a Linux
platform and it is free. Is this overkill to set this up for a simple
form? Should I continue using the flat file and import it into
something. I am basically fishing for the most efficient way. I am
only assuming PHP to MySQL is the best way. I would just like to know
before I dive into the unknown. My next step would be to figure out
how to set up a page to use PHP to output form fields. And of course I
will have to create the DB.
I hate to say this but yes I am clueless but I was hoping that this
would be a short quik answer from somebody who done these things
already. I just want to pointed in the right direction before I spend
a lot of time with the wrong stuff. Currently I just read the text
file, actually I don't even do that I just read the emails as they are
sent. I rarely go in and look at the text file the form outputs to. I
am going to have to though, very soon.
Thanks A lot

What server-side technology/language do you use to output the form
values to the flat file? Couldn't you use the same technology/language
to output them to MySQL?

Just FYI: this won't cause any problem, whatever technology you use. 300
hits per day is a really small charge.

php is very quick and easy to install, as well as MySQL. You shouldn't
have too many problems if you read the manuals at www.php.net.
Should I continue using the flat file and import it into
something.
No. This would make things slower, and more difficult to implement.
I am basically fishing for the most efficient way.
For such a small charge, use what you know best, i.e. the easiest
solution for you.
HTH.

My client is using a shared server running MySQL 2.4, however the in
house server is 4.1.12 with mysqldump 10.9. Is there a way to have the
10.9 version output a format that is fully compatible with 2.4?
Some of the CREATE TABLE statements in 10.9 are not accepted by 2.4.
Currently, I am not using any of the switches in creating the output
file other than the -u, -h and -p.

Hello,
I've a file wich must answer a request. For this my file must generate an
XML output.
That's work fine but sometimes I get a wrong mysql query. In this case, I've
to manage the output message. Problem: the mysql error message is shown, so
the answer will have the mysql error then the XML output, and this don't
works for the "reading" script.

Forgive me if this topic has been discussed before. I've been doing

I'm new to PHP, and I'm trying to call a MySQL stored procedure (using

passing in the relevant params, but calling the output params is
confusing me. Most of the examples I see online deal with returning

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
